Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\sqrt{\mathrm{r}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{C}}=\frac{\mathrm{mv}^2}{\mathrm{r}}\)

\(\frac{\mathrm{Kq}_1 \mathrm{q}_2}{\mathrm{r}^2}=\frac{\mathrm{mv}^2}{\mathrm{r}}\)

\(\mathrm{mv}^2 \mathrm{r}^2=\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{q}_1 \mathrm{q}_2 \mathrm{r}}\)

\(\frac{\mathrm{L}^2}{\mathrm{~m}}=\mathrm{Kq}_1 \mathrm{q}_2 \mathrm{r}\)

\(\mathrm{L} \propto \sqrt{\mathrm{r}}\)
